Hong Kong's very first CBD cafe has opened as the sale of non-medicinal CBD products is quietly emerging in Asia

's Sheung Wan area, hidden deep within a heavily gentrified maze of sleek micro roasters and dusty Chinese antique shops, there's a stylish, unassuming shop with a few tables out on its terrace.It's hard to tell on the surface, but with its vanilla-chic aesthetic of unfinished wood floors, blank white walls and a few nondescript plants, it's hardly the place you go to whisper"weed, please.

In a city where cannabinoids are still very much associated with intoxicating recreational -- and highly illegal -- usage, there's a vacuum in the popular imagination for the many therapeutic benefits of these naturally occurring compounds that are being embraced elsewhere in the world. In Hong Kong, the CBD extract is technically legal, but its sister compound THC , responsible for the"high," is strictly illegal. In the United States and Europe, CBD products can carry up to 0.3% -- a trace amount -- of THC, but even that is not acceptable in Hong Kong.Sounds easy enough to get around -- just use a pure form of CBD.

Mullen has worked closely with Chinese manufacturers for the past two years to ensure his CBD extracts are pure enough to fit local restrictions.
